Hello and welcome,

We would like to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves to you and our working environment.

My name is lucy and I live with my husband James (a childminder assistant) in our very friendly warm family home, we have three children aged 15, 16 and 19 years old. I have been a ofsted registered childminder for 15 years.

We have experience with all ages from 8 weeks to school age children.

Having 2 carers means there will be more adult supervision / flexibility available for activities, emergency cover and any illness. This also allows more flexibility with our working hours which we would be pleased to discuss with you.

I've worked as a horse riding instructor for many year's teaching young children to ride on a one to one basis and also as a veterinary nurse.

Having three children of my own and teaching young children I have personally experienced the variety of children's needs and the importance of individual attention.

In the past James worked in various administration / facilities supervisor roles and is now a assistant to us. ( up until April 2018 he was also a registered childminder)


Our working environment consists of a large 4 bedroom detached house with a large back garden situated at the end of a cul de sac. We use the entire house for Childminding, but also have a very large purpose built playroom with a huge variety of toys for all ages. We have a wide range of indoor and outdoor toys and are close to local park's, indoor play centres and several playgrounds. we are easily accessible by road, train or bus.

We have a small extremely friendly dog, cassie a cocker spaniel. Cassie sometimes accompanies us on her leads for some of our walks. We also have 2 extremely friendly cats Iris and Milly.

Our aims are to make a home from home experience for all children that attend our setting whilst also allowing the children to learn through play whilst following the early years foundation stage, which includes safeguarding, being healthy, Enjoy and Achieving, making a positive contribution and Achieving Economic well-being.

We have all completed a childminding introduction course (cHiP) safeguarding. paediatric first aid,understanding health and safety. I have also taken the EYFS update for HBGs including the two year old progress check.

OTHER QUALIFICATIONS ACHIEVED - (child protection for childminders) (understanding health and safety requirements ) (child neglect ) (every child is equal : promoting equal opportunities ) (EYFS update for HBCs including the two year old progress check) (child exploitation & online safety ) (child data protection) (level 2 award in food safety for catering) ( 2 year olds in a mix age setting)

We are Ofsted registered with a grade of good.

We then invite people to come to have a look at our fun and exciting home and make an informed decision.

Ofsted Good Provider Logo
Good
26 November 2019
Children thrive in an emotionally secure setting that offers high-quality resources and a language-rich environment. Strong bonds with caregivers and a focus on independence contribute to children's positive development. The curriculum includes outdoor exploration and sensory experiences, enhancing learning across all areas. Effective partnerships with parents support children's progress. While the overall quality is good, there is room for improvement in encouraging the assistant to evaluate and enhance their teaching skills.

Childminder Review for Lucy & Jamie

Our daughter Edie has been with Lucy and Jamie since she was 1 year old, and she’s now 2 — and we couldn’t be happier with the care she receives. Their home is a fantastic, nurturing setting where Edie feels completely at ease.

Every day is full of fun and variety — from outdoor adventures to playgroups, creative activities, and home learning. It’s clear how much thought and love goes into making each day special and enriching for the children.

Edie absolutely adores Lucy and Jamie — she talks about them constantly and even asks to go there on the weekends! Their calm, loving approach has helped her thrive emotionally, socially, and developmentally.

We’re incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful environment for Edie, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Lucy and Jamie to any parent looking for a warm and stimulating setting for their child.

Thank you so much

Fantastic setting

5 stars

We feel so fortunate to find Mayflower, our boys have thrived at the setting and love their time with Lucy and Jamie.

It is wonderful to see the adventures that they have with regular pictures and updates. The boys love exploring and it is so special that Lucy and Jamie take the children out each day to a park / playground / playgroup etc.

The boys have developed wonderful social skills and love this family setting.

Thank you for all you do for the children and the support that you offer the parents along the way.

Would highly recommend!

5 stars

Would highly recommend Mayflower to anyone who is looking for a trusting, warm and caring environment to send your child. Every day is an exciting adventure! They keep you updated with how your little one is doing with pictures and a daily journal and always there for support. We were so thrilled with how our daughter was getting on that we chose to send our son there to.

Amazing childminders

5 stars

Our son has been with Lucy and Jamie since he was a year old. We've had a wonderful experience. Our son has developed so much in their care. His language has come on hugely, as has his personal development, and fine motor skills. Lucy and Jamie have also been particularly supportive, they're both friendly and accessible and have provided advice where wanted.
The children are taken off site most days exposing them to playgroups, parks, woodland, soft play, animals and all included in the price. This, i think has been particularly important for our son, and we are provided with daily photos, updates and written reports. We also receive reports of his development and areas to work on. The setting is safe and secure, has easy parking, and a large lawn garden for the children to play in. There is a dog, Cassie, and a cat which has been great exposure. Our son has made good friendships at mayflower and we are excited for our daughter to start when she turns 9 months. I would recommend mayflower childminding to anyone.
thank you both!

Second home for our son

5 stars

Aaron has been with Lucy and James since he was 11 months old and we couldn’t be happier with the care he’s received. The environment is warm, supportive, and engaging. He’s grown so much in confidence and development. We’re truly grateful for the love and dedication shown to him every day.

Highly Recommend - a lovely setting.

5 stars

We have been using Lucy and Jamies for the best part of 4years now for both of our children, and what a great choice we made! A home from home where they felt comfortable and cared for, with lots and lots of fun too.

Lucy and Jamie make a great effort to ensure that come rain or shine the children have an activity to do, whether that be a park, playgroup or at home arts and crafts. A variety of choice to ensure they are being exposed to all sorts of new things.

So gutted our time has now come to an end!

Would highly recommend!

Amazing

5 stars

My son came to Mayflower in January and the care has received has been amazing. He has been made to feel like part of the family. My son’s confidence has grown massively since being with Mayflower. He has always lacked confidence in stairs and climbing and Jamie and Lucy have made a real effort to encourage him and help him. The activities they do are so good and the amount of time they spend outside i love. They send pictures everyday and give regular updates on what they've been upto. I could not recommend enough. Thank you Jamie & Lucy!

Home from home

5 stars

We feel so grateful to have had Mayflower in our lives for nearly 4 years, our first who started in 2021 and our second who we managed to switch in! Incredible set up, great people and always going out come rain or shine which I loved! So gutted to be leaving you, I can’t believe it’s time already! But if you’re looking for a trustworthy, home from home set up, Mayflower is the one for you.

AMAZING!!!

5 stars

After working in nurseries for years I was a huge sceptic when it came to childminders, however meeting with Lucy and Jamie that all changed!!!

Our daughter was with Mayflower for just over a year and they were nothing short of amazing! The bond that she built with the both of them was instant, with a home from home feeling she would run into the house without looking back and didn't want to leave at the end of the day.
The communication was clear, open and honest, with photos each day showing us what she had been up to.
Even with allergies they always made sure that she was included and never felt left out.

We are so happy that she has Auntie Lucy & Uncle Jamie that I am constantly recommending them to anyone I speak to and will continue to do so!

Amazing support during settling in period

5 stars

Lucy and Jamie have been truly amazing throughout the entire settling in process for my daughter.
I was finding the prospect of returning to work very daunting, but Lucy and Jamie helped reassure me that my daughter would adapt well to the new routine and environment.
As soon as we visited Mayflower, it felt warm and welcoming. Their set-up is fantastic and shows how passionate Mayflower are about what they do. My daughter instantly felt comfortable exploring their well-stocked playroom. Lucy & Jamie both took the time to explain their set-up and the rules they have in place to ensure the children’s safety - this was very reassuring for me and my partner.
I was quite anxious about my daughter’s transition into childcare but Lucy and Jamie were very understanding and patient, which helped ease my worries.
During my daughter’s settling-in period, Lucy and Jamie would send me lots of updates / pictures to reassure me that my daughter was happy and settled. It also meant that I was able to see all the fun activities my daughter got involved in which was lovely. They have also been very happy to provide me with additional updates when I have felt anxious.
Mayflower have been proactive with suggestions to help with my daughter’s sleeping and mobility - they really do care and this makes such a huge difference. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining Mayflower! She is now chatting away all day and a confident walker.
Mayflower always try and include outdoor trips for the children everyday, along with playgroups and other fun activities. I have particularly appreciated all the arts and crafts my daughter gets to do during the day, and it is lovely to see all of her work at the end of the day/week.
I cannot sing Mayflower’s praises enough. They have been so understanding and patient which I think is why my daughter settled in so well. They are a brilliant childminders and I would recommend them to anyone.
